  still on.

  wave of the pandemic, we cannot ignore the
  dreaded cancer disease in the world or allow
  millions of young people to jeopardize their
  futures by using cigarettes
• The link between smoking use and the severity of
  COVID-19 needs to be understood to promote and

• How does smoking cause cancer?
• All tobacco products contain cancer-causing
  chemicals (carcinogens) and toxins, as well as an
  addictive substance, nicotine.
• All these substances enter the blood vessels and
  damage the DNA of the cells of our body. Damaged
  DNA can turn into a cancerous tumor.
• Many cancer surgeons come across many cancer
  cases every year, which cause a lot of damage to
  people's lives and their livelihood.
• Many people suffered from oral cancer due to the
  use of smokeless tobacco, which resulted in death
  within a year of being diagnosed with the disease.

• Statistics of the smoking use in teenagers
• The trend of tobacco use by teenagers in India is
  increasing, which is worrying.
• In the Global Adult Tobacco Survey, GATS 2016-17,
  this number was around 11 percent.
• The data also showed that people between the ages
  of 15 and 24 had started smoking at a very young
  age.
• 5 to 25 percent of teenagers are using tobacco
• For the tobacco industry, the youth has become a
  lucrative market.
• According to an estimate, currently, 5 to 25
  percent of adolescents use or are using tobacco
  products and smoking-related products.
• What is more worrying is that tobacco use at a
  very early age among our adolescents is also a
  major factor in the increase in cancer cases.
